We've been saying it all year, but I think now the world knows that this might be the best 1-2 punch in a backcourt in NCAA history... and certainly the best 'undersized' 1-2 guard punch ever. Give me Boatrights all lifetime long in recruiting, means we might have them for 3-4 years rather than the Cuse avg. of 1-2 years

Although, UCONN has had some back courts that could rival them. El-amin and RIP (whenever he played the two). Ray Allen and Doron Scheffer. Man UCONN has had some teams.

You're right about that, when RIP put the "clamps" on em, that backcourt became capable of the kind of D this one played. I know its bias due to it being fresh in the memory but there was something just magical about this squad. Never before has our defense been able to either "get lucky that X team played their 'worst' game of the season" on offense, or as we know it "completely disrupt the comfort that a talented, well coached, veteran-laden, or all three team had in its offense", and also be just complete pests to have to stay in front of when we have the ball.

Defense wins championships, but its never been more easily discernable than we made it this year. Does anyone else get the sense that this year our run could honestly change the way a lot of programs coach their teams, recruit for players, and spend time in practice in a major way?
